Split Behind the Dilemma. >Grass is Singing< Mary's Tragedy Analysis [《困境后的分裂 - 《野草在歌唱》中玛丽的悲剧分析], Master thesis, English Language and Literature, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China 2012 [Application of Fromm's theories to art].

  • 《野草在歌唱》是多丽丝•莱辛的第一部非洲小说。凭着对殖民地生活的细致入微的描写,该小说自面世之初就赢得评论界的广泛关注。通过细致描写女主人公玛丽•特纳的生活环境和心理成长历程,作者为我们呈现了一个真实的殖民地世界,揭示了残酷的殖民统治以及在殖民统治下白人的生存困境和危机。在马克思主义内外因辩证法和弗洛姆人性理论的观照下,本文通过对主人公玛丽•特纳的外部生存环境的分析与其内部扭曲的心理成长的剖析,指出只有当个体成长与外部世界取得平衡时,个体的人格发展才能完整和完善,否则必然会遭受人格分裂带来的痛苦。论文由三章构成。第一章介绍了玛丽•特纳的生存环境,即在白人殖民统治下充斥着贫困、种族隔离和森严的等级制度的非洲,分析了在物质匮乏、种族隔离的生存状态下玛丽陷入了混乱、沮丧的困境;第二章从弗洛姆人性观的角度,探索了导致玛丽悲剧的内因。通过探索玛丽不幸的童年经历和婚姻生活以及与摩西矛盾的关系,指出错误的社会性格是导致玛丽心理扭曲和精神崩溃的导火索;第三章指出了在冷漠的社会文本和错误的自我系统的共同作用下,玛丽最终失去自我,渐渐分裂,最终沦为精神分裂的受害者,悲剧结束了她的生命。结论部分指出,人是社会的产物,只有当个人的心理发展与外部生存环境相融,与社会发展相平衡并不失去自我时,个体的人格发展才能得到完整与完善。
  • >The Grass Is Singing< is Doris Lessing's first novel taken Africa as background. It receives wide attention as soon as it is published for its vivid and overall description of colonial life. Through a meticulous depiction of Mary Turner's living background and personality development, Lessing presents us a clear view of the colonial life, thus revealing the brutal oppression of colonization and the living crisis of the white settlers. Under the guidance of Marx's dialectic view and Fromm's view about personality development, this thesis is proposed to analyze the essential reason behind Mary's living background (external cause) and her psychological growth and development (inner cause), thus achieving the conclusion: only when a person is developing in accordance with the society and the external world, can he achieve the balance and sanity between his personality development and the external world. Otherwise, he will suffer from the disaster of spirit chaos and split. The paper consists of three chapters.– Chapter one gives an introduction to the living environment of the heroine, Mary Turner and analyzes Mary's confused and frustrating situation under the pressure of impoverishment and racial discrimination.– Chapter two is proposed to reveal the inner cause of Mary's tragedy and conducts psychoanalysis on Mary based on her traumatic childhood, unhappy marital life and contradictory relationship with Moses thus pointing out that a false social character is the remote cause of Mary's twisted psychological development and spiritual split.– Chapter three focuses on the combined action of the indifferent social context and false self system. It deprives Mary's self-knowledge of pushes her to spiritual split and schizophrenia and final destroy.– The conclusion part proposes that human beings are the output of certain social system and ideology, thus only when individual psychological development goes accordant with the social circumstances he lives in without loss of self-knowledge can he achieve integrate personality development.
